Article-Summary: 

This report presents the findings of a rapid assessment study conducted in Arusha, Dar Es Salaam and Mwanza regions to investigate activities performed by working children in the informal sector. Some of the main findings from this study include that there were more male working children in the informal sector activities investigated than females. This disparity is due to the fact that most female children are tracked by society into domestic work as opposed to more male-oriented activities.
